Abstract

Children with speech and/or resonance disorders due to structural anomalies present challenges for speech-language pathologists in all settings. The purpose of this article is to provide current, practical information regarding the evaluation and treatment of children with speech/resonance disorders secondary to cleft palate and noncleft causes of velopharyngeal dysfunction. Simple “no-tech” procedures for assessment will be described so that the reader will be able to determine which children will benefit from therapy and which will require surgical intervention. Finally, specific speech therapy techniques will be given for changing placement from the pharynx to the oral cavity, thus eliminating phoneme-specific nasal emission.
